I've tried strawberries (he won't touch them), but never tomatoes.(I'll try it!) I have tried the commercial foods available in the petshop, that canned Zoomed stuff and the dried zoo med pellets you add water to (again, won't touch it) I tried vegetable and meat flavored baby foods, and fresh fruits and veggies (strawberry, banana, lettuce, sweet potato..etc) he won't touch it. SOMETIMES he will eat a red wiggler. I heard they are supposed to like those wax worms, but they always look half dead from the pet shop and if it doesn't move he won't eat it. He'll eat one sometimes and turn up his nose the next. I tried putting the meal worms on top of the other food to get him to taste it, and that didn't work either. I even tried soaking Pickles Reptomin in water and feeding it to Gherhkin and he doesn't want it. Gherkin is still very young, 5 months old. He does eat the meal worms, walks around his enclosure every day, gets drinks of water and climbs up on his log to bask.
